This is the reply I posted to the article below: I'm sorry, but complaining about a $35 adapter is frankly silly. Why don't you go complain about car manufacturers charging an atrocious $400 for a replacement key remote instead - a far more nefarious example of corporate greed than Apple's

Totally agree with you Martin on all you have mentioned below. This is classic Tall Poppy Syndrome and jealousy of Apple's huge success! Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad On 17/09/2012, at 2:31 PM, Martin Hill marth...@iinet.net.au wrote: This is the reply I posted to the article below:

Hi Apple using Muggers I don't attend the meetings but I pay my dues and follow the posts. In my humble opinion (and I don't have many of those) we elect a committee and they put in a lot of their time and effort on our behalf, so I accept their judgement and decisions.

G'day Martin, good dialogue on this one. Email me off line about Land Rover key fob replacement. I'm doing a battery replacement myself and new shell, all for $40 I hope. I hope I'm not too late for you. Sorry for hijacking but wanted to help a fellow mugger. Regards Pete

Hi Chris No worries on that info, happy to help out. There are no (major) issues in changing Domain Registrations and hosting. If you have things hosted or running already (email etc), it can be a bit of a hiccup, but these are less and less these days. Can be a bit of slight downtime, but
